Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to complete walks in any type of environment including bushland, arid, alpine or tropical areas and according to planned routes.The unit provides the skills to walk on generally distinct tracks but without major modification to the ground. Surfaces are likely to be unstable with many natural obstacles such as rocky or loose tread, roots, rocks, fallen tree logs and water crossings. Long steep sections and arduous climbs may be featured.Tracks have signage at the track head and have route markers but provide limited signage en route. Tracks may be indistinct is some places. Tracks marked on maps may be unreliable requiring walkers to use navigation skills and equipment to complete the track. Tracks could be graded according to the Australian Walking Track Grading System and might include features of grade 4.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors who use these skills when leading participants during bushwalking activities.
